The Use of Electrical Bioimpedance to Evaluate Dry Weight in Patients With Chronic Renal Failure in Hemodialysis
INTRODUCTION: Accurate estimation of dry weight (DW) is an important and difficult problem in clinical practice. DW is defined as the lowest weight after hemodialysis (HD) where the patient will not develop symptoms of hypotension and edema, in addition to not using antihypertensives. Achieving a fluid balance benefits the control of blood pressure and reduces cardiovascular risk. In most HD centers, the DW is estimated using a subjective method dependent on the signs and symptoms that the patient presents. Recently, several approaches have been studied to develop a standardized DW evaluation technique. Among these, the analysis of electric bioimpedance vectors (BIVA) has been recognized as a simple and promising method with high reproducibility.
OBJECTIVE: To use BIVA to improve dry weight estimation in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.
Methods: This is a non-randomized pre-test / post-test clinical trial, where the universe of patients comes from the hemodialysis unit of the General State Hospital of Sonora.
Patients who have limb amputations, pacemakers, metal implants, who are under renal transplant protocol or who have a renal transplant, and presence of infectious foci will be restricted from participating.
The diagnosis of DW in the patients will be performed for modification and follow-up. Fluid status will be evaluated using BIVA. Measurements will be made before and after HD in three consecutive weekly periods and one one final assessment at three months.
At the beginning of each period, weight, electrolytes, creatinine, total proteins, albumin, pre-albumin, urea and blood pressure will be measured to calculate the Malnutrition Inflammation Score and Bilbrey Index. At the end of the HD protocol of each period, body composition and muscle strength will be evaluated through triceps skinfold, mid-upper arm circumference and dynamometry. The dialysis dose received will be modified according to BIVA.
The main variables to be considered will be DW, extracellular water and blood pressure.
The duration of the study will be approximately 6 months. In addition, at the end of each measurement, each participant will be given a nutritional recommendation (feeding guide) specific to their energy requirements.

Conditions
Detailed Description
- Place of study: General Hospital of the State of Sonora "Dr. Ernesto Ramos Bours" in the city of Hermosillo, Sonora.
- Sociodemographic and symptomatological information questionnaire: Questionnaires will be applied to each participant, which will allow to obtain information of their occupation, residence, date of birth, their own medical and family history, as well as typical symptoms of the diseases.
- Weight: The weight will be measured with a SECA Model 813 Portable Floor Scale. The person should wear light clothing, empty pockets, without shoes, accessories (belts, necklaces, watches, etc.); In a firm position, facing forward, without movement at the time of taking the measurement. Weight measurement should be the simplest and most accurate of anthropometric measurements, the balance should be calibrated periodically.
- Height: The height will be measured with a portable stadiometer Model 217 SECA. The participant is presented for the measurement of the height dressed with the minimum of clothes, at least, without shoes and socks. The participant is instructed to stand on the stadiometer so that his heels, gluteus, and shoulder blades are in contact with the back plate, and the heels together. The head should be placed on the "Frankfurt Plane", the head of the instrument will move down to make contact with the apex of the skull. With the subject in the correct position, he is instructed: "take a deep breath and stand tall". The height is measured at the point of inspiration without pressure being applied.
- Single-frequency bioimpedance (BIA): The BIA measurement will be performed according to the established criteria by the National Institute of Health Technology Assessment Conference Statement. The subject will be placed supine, with arms and legs separated from the body and palms down. The electrodes will be located in the right extremities, located on the back of the hand and foot near the phalangeal-metacarpal and phalangeal-metatarsal joints and in the styloid process of the wrist and between the medial and lateral malleolus of the ankle, through which an imperceptible electric current will be introduced.
The subjects should be under the following conditions so that the study can be carried out:
- Fast four hours before the measurement.
- Not having consumed alcoholic beverages during the 48 hours prior to the test.
- No strenuous exercise 24 hours prior to measurement.
- In the case of women, do not menstruate.
- Do not have any metal objects on the body.
The approximate measurement time is five minutes.
- Vector analysis of electric bioimpedance (BIVA): The variables of resistance (R), Reactance (Xc) and size of each of the individuals measured to be plotted in the reference ellipses of the Mexican population by sex will be used. The R and Xc standardized by size (R / size and Xc / size) will be used to plot the vector of individuals within the percentiles 50, 75 and 95% of tolerance ellipses, differentiated by sex, using the BIVA program Software 2002.
- Clinical assessment of dry weight and hemodialysis (HD) process: Based on the traditional practices of the Hospital dialysis unit, the physician / nurse will perform physical examination and interpret the signs and symptoms associated with the renal disease, these are blood pressure , heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, presence of infection and edema. This will include present and past health-disease aspects, medications, as well as information on the patient's daily life. Upon arrival, the patient will be weighed according to the methodology described above. According to the traditional practice of the Hospital Dialysis Unit, the patient's target weight will be based on the difference between the post-dialysis weight of the last session and the current weight, in addition to taking into account the signs and symptoms Mentioned above, In order to determine the excess water of the patient.
The amount of fluid to be withdrawn to the patient, the ultrafiltration rate and the duration time are determined by the nephrologist physician in consultation prior to the HD session. Such information may be modified in the HD session depending on the clinical evaluation of the patient on the day of treatment.
Before starting HD, the patient's vascular access is prepared with three alcohol times and three times of 10% EXSEPT, and the clot is removed from the access.
The time, ultrafiltration rate and the amount of liquid to be filtered on the HD machine (Fresenius Medical Care 4008 S - OCM Kt / V) are then programmed. Once programmed, it connects To the patient and heparin is administered at an initial bolus and at each hour of treatment. A total of 100 units per kg of body weight is given and the total is divided between the initial bolus and each hour of treatment. The mechanism by which the HD machine works is as follows: A pump directs the patient's blood to a filter of Polysulfone fibers, blood runs up-down, while a dialysing solution (its content is similar to normal blood plasma) flows in the opposite direction. By means of osmosis and the pressure exerted by the filter, excess substances are removed from the patient's blood and, if any of the plasma components are deficient, is absorbed from the dialysing solution. The blood is returned to the patient and heparin is supplied at both catheter outlets to avoid coagulation. The catheter is then sealed with a stopper and a patch is placed to prevent contact with the outside medium. Finally, the vital signs are reviewed again and the appointment is scheduled for the next treatment. In case the vital signs are altered, the patient is immediately referred to the emergency department.
- Laboratory parameters: Pre and post-dialysis patient blood samples will be taken to analyze the following parameters: serum electrolytes, blood biometrics, blood chemistry and Hepatic function. If feasible, the PCR will be analyzed.
- Blood pressure: Blood pressure will be measured with an automatic monitor included in the hemodialysis equipment (Fresenius Medical Care 4008 S - OCM Kt / V). To perform the measurement, the patient has to be relaxed and seated comfortably, at a comfortable ambient temperature. Do not bathe, drink alcohol or caffeine, smoke, exercise or eat 30 minutes before taking the measurement. The participants should sit in a chair with their feet flat on the floor, the back straight and the arm band should be at the same level as their heart with the palm up and relaxed. The nurse will start by palpating the arm for the pulse of the brachial artery, where the diaphragm of the stethoscope will be placed. This artery is located between the brachial and brachial biceps muscles; In its lower-lateral path accompanies the median nerve. The bracelet should be placed to take the measurement.Special considerations: - In patients with peripheral insertion of central catheters, the upper arm should be avoided in which there is a central peripheral insertion catheter. - In patients with a bypass Dialysis, or fistula, blood pressure should be taken in the opposite arm if the patient has an arteriovenous insertion or fistula necessary for dialysis, this is to avoid possible trauma or clot formation.
- Nutritional intervention: Patients will be made aware of the importance of adherence to nutritional treatment through individualized sessions, addressing the following topics: a) how to ensure adequate energy and protein intake, b) how to control fluid, sodium and potassium intake, identifying foods rich in them, c) Incorrect feeding, d) food preparation techniques, among others. Also, in each session, depending on the patient's nutritional status, laboratory values and comorbidities, a personalized feeding guide will be provided, which will include the foods to be consumed and in what quantities, using the Mexican equivalents system for renal patients and the current Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) practice guidelines.
- Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS), Bilbrey Index and subjective global assessment: These are instruments that will be used to establish a Nutritional diagnosis of each patient. Clinical, biochemical and anthropometric parameters are evaluated. Each of the measurements will be made according to the current standardized methodology.
